Links

Mrs. Smith was nice enough to supply me with Mr. Loescher's Internet Site lists he used to send out. I'm going through and checking them:
  1. To make sure they get through the filter
  2. To make sure they still exist
I'm removing the dead sites and posting the rest to the side of this blog. They all get through the filter. Remember to email me if you need a site unblocked. I check them myself and then unblock them if they pose no threat.

The list of links isn't in any order other than the order I enter them. If they are useful to you, I'll try to organize them better. If they aren't useful to you, I may take them off altogether.
